If You Let Your Mom....

Orally composed in my kitchen last Friday night.

If you let your mom go to the bathroom...

She may just take a shower.  

If she takes a shower....

She may just put on her pajamas.  

If she puts her pajamas on....

She may just go to bed.  

The End.

(This all happened except for the "going to bed" part.  Next time.)

Have you read, "If You Give A Mouse a Cookie" or "If You Give A Moose A Muffin"?



The Sound of Wild Geese

This just happened:

Sitting upstairs.

Meditation session complete.

I take a glorious sip of tea.

Still hot.

A reward?

I think to myself, "this moment; savior it.  a gift."

Simultaneously, I hear a wining sound and instantly think it is my one year old.

Awake.

And my mind:

"why is she awake?  she shouldn't be awake.  She hasn't slept long enough.  what about the other things I was going to do?  Well, that is too bad that I am thinking negatively about my daughter being awake.  Second arrow...."

I look up.

Two wild geese fly by.

Honking in chaotic unison and delight.
